[Q] Samsung galaxy shv-e330s LTE-A. Is there a way to root this variant

Hello to everybody,
I am new to the forum and form what i am lishening is a great honor to be part of such an informed community. I recently bought a Korean shv-e330s samsung galaxy with the new snapdragon 800 cpu. Although i am no expert i stressed out in my communication with the seller the importance for me, if the phone is unlocked and unbranded. After 2-3 times of reassuarance i received the phone only to find out that is branded from SK Telecom, with tenths of useless apps and startup logos. Furthemore the phone is SLOW...i mean in benchmarks.
Is there a way yet to root the phone and get rid of all the annoying apps?
I already tried CMW, MOTOCHOPPER, but in the first instance i cannot enter recovery booting... and in the second it stucks there and doesnt continue to options.
Any insights?

Al methods i tried but useless

Unable to be in download mode ODIN

Good evening to all
I have just bought a GN3 in France from SFR and I wanted installed(settled) the last ROM.
However, it's impossible to be in download mode of ODIN
The simultaneous support of touches Home + POWER + LOW VOLUME brings me on a message ' FACTORY mode ' followed by several lines that I think of being in Korean.
It is thus impossible to me to change ROM .
Can anybody help me to solve this problem?
Thanks to you

I think it's a clone phone, not an Original one... Not sure but Dats what i think...

Yeah doesn't sound like it's a genuine Samsung model, grab CPU-Z and check your SoC etc and post what the specs show up.

Result of CPU-Z

Rom for Galaxy S4 HTM GT-A9500

Hello guys, this is my first post. HTM won a GT-A9500 and he had to turn the boot S4 i9500, Hard Reset when did he disappeared with this boot and the HTM logo began to appear, is to install the i9500 boot again or install a ROM S4 i9500 original?
Or at least install the Jelly Beam 4.3 or 4.2.2, because he is with android 4.2.
Regards,

What?

How for the goodness sake, you want to flash near 2gig ROM into a crap having 256MB available for it??????
you can tell His Terrific Majesty (THM) to sell his prize for the real market value of 20dollars and buy a hamburger instead.

More is possible to install a more current version of android as it is with the 4.2.
Another thing, when I called him, appeared the i9500 boot after I did the hard reset boot HTM appears, is to at least get back in the boot of the i9500?

I see that you do not understand the basic clue.... ok, let me help:
this thread of the XDA is for: Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506 . PERIOD.
No Chinese fakes are supported here. PERIOD.
Your phone (HTM GT-A9500) is nothing even close from the hardware point of view, to the original. PERIOD.
In the other words, it seems that you are trying to install 7liters engine from Lamborhini Diablo into the Daewoo/Chevrolet Matiz.
To do it successfully you will need to follow simple procedure:
1. disassemble the case of your phone;
2. Buy somewhere the motherboard, digitizer, screen & auxiliaries from Samsung GT-I9500;
3. Assemble it.
4. flash the I9500 ROM of your choice.
Simple??

From the hospital: SIM not working. Also, it it really i9500?

Hi
Background: I am usually very thorough when buying a new phone. This time I Wasn't well for many days and in the hospital. Urgently needed a new phone and ordered 1 online from a used shop. I specially wanted i9500.. no other variant..
I got one, it said i9500 on the back cover (echted in the plastics and well as the paper... which said made in india.. also the paper/sticker wasn't samsung quality but maybe since it was used, and indian made, i thought ok..
Now I inserted my sim and turned it on... Some chinese s***t! then samsung logo then the TouchWiz.. But there were many chinese apps as well. AND IT DID NOT DETECT MY SIM. Settings say its an i9500.. it felt like a samsung but something was off... In camera, as soon as I took a pic, phone got shut off! Had to take out battery... (btw, it says android 4.42 and when I go to Update.. .Samsung says it cant as device has been modified)
reformatted phone... more chinese sh*t, then Android loads up and there is no play store!
So I downoad a Darky ROM for i9500 and try flashing.. viola!! success.. Android 5.0.1
It said Sim not registered... then that message dissappears and now it shows me FULL SIGNALS but when I try to dial anything, it says Not registered on network! - WHen I went to settings... in device it is now saying:SM-903F (is that a ROM thing or is that the real phone model I have..?)
Can someone please help me.. the phone is very important here in my hosp.. cant type/read a lot of my laptop, it is very energy comsuming
Regards
P.S My location is Pakistan

See if you can enter download mode (Volume down and Power). If you can get into download mode, read off the model number displayed on screen. If you can't, the S4 is counterfeit.

The phone could also be a combination of various parts from different hardware versions of the s4.
Also, check to see if the imei is okay.

Yes bro, I can see the IMEI..
I tried flashing another ROM (TouchWiz) - Still sim is not recognized (but signal bars goes to full.. even if I take out the SIM.. guess thats a ROM issue)
Anyways, still stuck.. Which modem should I try flashing... :|

I was going to suggest a stock 9500 rom from sammobile.com but there are only ROMs for the 9500, not 9500chn.
Googling the model 9500chn links to other people that have the same problem when trying to flash another rom.

The phone model become GT-I9500CHN because of Chinese bootloader that unfortunately very hard to get rid of this stuff.
______
Your phone might be trying to connect to China Mobile or China Unicom that uses TD-SCDMA instead of WCDMA for most regions.
Also, after you install DarkLord S6 port on your device, you'll get phone model on About device as SM-G903F (Galaxy S5 Neo) instead of the normal one for more compatibility (according to the developer).
I would try to check the IMEI online to see if this is original or not (ilegally tampered from other device).

Cheap chinese fake replicas. All ib one line.
Do nothing about it. Ordering online was the worst decision.
Now there are threads here on how to manage these clones. Read one of them

I hate chinese like u do... but this is not cheap
and it is actually a REAL Samsung Galaxy
problem is its GT-i9500CHN - aargghhhhhh - pain doubling... due to me being in hospital. cant go outside to kill someone

If you flashed custom ROMs and them boot, it's not a clone. I9500 performs an Exynos CPU, Chinese clones a Mediatek one, so just for this ROMs couldn't even boot.
All you can do is try to flash a stock firmware from SamMobile, an I9500 firmware coming from China, and see what happens.
By the way, I think this guy bought a Chinese (Genuine) I9500, then rooted it for install Google Apps, that would probably be the reason of the GApps disappearing after formatting (as far as I know, Chinese phones have a backup partition where an emergency copy of the stock firmware is located, I don't know if Samsung does this as well).
For the SIM problem, it's probably simlock, and it probably works only with a determined Chinese operator (or, again, it probably doesn't supports Pakistan's signal bands).
All you can do is check your IMEI on some dedicated site and see if it's simlock, then if it's not, check if the bands that your phone supports are compatible with Pakistan ones.
Sorry for my bad english.

Again, China's bands are TD-SCDMA, not WCDMA as we use mostly over the world.

Once again, GT-I9500CHN is just from the bootloader. Installing any GT-I9500 firmware should work.

S7 Edge g9350 Rom and other questions

So hi, I'm basically a noob, I just rooted my phone and I have a couple questions.
My first attempt at rooting my phone, it bricked it, so I went to sammobile and just downloaded the first stock rom I saw out of panic and that brings me to my first question. How would I know what my phones original Rom is cause I'm pretty sure I downloaded a wrong one.
Next question is after I successfully rooted my phone, when rebooting, just before the SAMSUNG logo comes up, there's a yellow, small font "set warranty bit:kernel" located at the top left of the screen which is kinda freaking me out. Googling didn't help much either with providing information.
And would someone recommend me a custom Rom for me to install, I'm looking for maximum performance for gaming which works for my phone. I tried package disabling some bloatwares that I saw here which is said to be safe to disable but it just softbricked my phone. Please help me with my predicaments.
Phone is Samsung Galaxy s7 edge(SM-G0350): Black Pearl
4 Cores 4gb ram and available ram is only around 40% cause of bloatwares.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 2.15Ghz
Adreno 530 as Renderer
128 gb Internal Memory
